ASTM International (formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials)

ASTM International is a global organization that develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. These standards ensure quality, safety, and reliability across industries such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. Organizations and professionals use ASTM standards to confirm that materials and products meet specific performance criteria, facilitating consistency and trust in quality. Founded in 1898, ASTM's consensus-based approach involves experts worldwide, making it a vital resource for innovation, regulation, and industry best practices without being a regulatory agency itself.
